Gaillardia X Grandiflora ‘Kobold’

Grow Gaillardia plants in borders and containers on any well drained soil in full sun.

Feed and water occasionally until Blanket Flower plants are fully established. Deadhead faded Gaillardia flowers to encourage more blooms to be produced. In Late summer, cut back old foliage and flower stems to 15cm (6″) to encourage basal growth before the first frosts. In spring, lift and divide overcrowded clumps of gaillardia and apply a mulch of well rotted manure or garden compost to the base of the plant.
